16 weeks pregnant and in severe pain in my back

flamingo29 · August 2014

Hi there, I'm 15 weeks and 6 days pregnant. And I have spent the past 2 days in bed suffering from serious back pain and hip pain. My doctors are terrible to get an appointment at so it's not worth the hassle really. And I have tyred paracetamol. Also a hot wheat bag, Propping my self up, I've tyred many things and nothing working. :'( really getting me down can anyone help?

You need to call your doctor.... while back pain is common in pregnancy it shouldn't be that painful.

I'm actually suffering from the exact same thing... Lower back and pain in my hip which makes it difficult to walk. Did you have a previous back injury? I hurt my back in a car accident two and a half years ago and in second trimester my back started to hurt really badly. Unfortunately there aren't any home remedies I can recommend... Went to see my doctor over this issue and was diagnosed with herniated disk and been doing acupuncture and physiotherapy to relieve the pain. Please go and see your doc to get proper treatment.

I have it too, right hip, shoots down my leg sometimes. Baby's fine, but it is making me waddle. Went to a chiropractor, but it didn't help. So basically, no advice but at least you know you aren't the only one

Call your doctor and memory foam.

Was this pain that came on suddenly or built up over the course of days/weeks? Do you recall injuring your back or have a prior history like another mom asked? Are you feeling numbness/tingling/shooting pain in your legs? These are questions your dr. should ask and either way, you need to see you dr.

I was having SI joint pain around 10-14 weeks but a body pillow and prenatal pilates fixed that up for me.

Physical therapy can be helpful also.
